Are you struggling with job loss, company collapse, or huge changes within your industry as a result of the current financial crisis? In this video, I tell you my personal and professional experience through the lens of the larger story of the fall of Pan American World Airways, a story that is highly relevant today, and teaches valuable lessons about trauma.

As a psychoanalyst and psychotherapist for 25 years, and former Pan Am stewardess for 20 years before that, I'm struck by the similarity of the feelings of instability in the world now with how we Pan Am employees felt as our company began to fail.

On December 4th of this year, former Pan Am employees all over the world sadly acknowledged the twentieth anniversary of the death of their beloved company. And on December 21, they, along with the families and loved ones of the victims of Flight 103 that exploded over Lockerbie, Scotland, will be remembering that sad day when their lives were forever changed.
